Dalton Court Care Home

Our dementia care

An individual with dementia has difficulty with memory, concentration and logic and can often find it hard to communicate what they need and how they feel. Subsequently, they can often become frustrated and have intense feelings surrounding their confusion over life experiences. At Dalton Court we encourage involvement with families and friends to ensure relevant personal items are used to stimulate reminiscence and promote conversation. This person-centred approach allows us to see the resident as a whole person, by maintaining the individuality of each resident living with dementia. We also use dementia care mapping and the latest research to assist in developing an individualised care plan.
